   Reviewing 2008.1.871 (Dec 1, 2008)

   Sometimes I learn things the hard way:
   install this thing,
   run it,
   froze machine (while "reading sensor"),
   power off,
   restart,
   UNINSTALL,
   forget it.

   No Graphics Displays for the benchmarking tabs. With the last few updates I had skewed graphics, now none at all. The only version that works for me seems to be 1.84. I've had problems with all the updates since then.

   hmmm .....whoever wrote (can't remember right offhand )..that "pcwiz. is a pos.".........i hate to break it to you , but that's either billy boy (windows).......or the way you setup your comp.
   i have it on both mine , mom's ...(anyone's who email's me for help ) i tell to get it so they know the info i need to help them ....etc .etc. etc..all the one's i work on for people ..-i think the point is made-.....i have had a lockup or two on various comps. too..and am NOT so quick to blame pcw , the vast majority of the time , if it is not some downloaded crapware drivers interfereing . it is just, as i said ,
   the inherant tweakiness of windows.....FANTASTIC.
   program that has saved not only myself, but MANY others i have been able to help through the detailed info on all the billions of friggin numbers one needs to get anywhere with helping someone over the net. ( most people dunno pc3200
   from 20 gig )......pcw has been of VAST help .
   you can just tellem download .tell me what it says in "x".....on "x" page....and there ya go
   on anything from a pretty vicious system like my primary (asus a8n sli- premium / athlon fx-60 running 2.8 (at 40c -hehhehheh) and 2 gigs pc3200 )....to some poor limpalong critter from the jurrassic age.....had VERY few problems.....and a LOT ! ...of valuable info =assistance.......ummmm......for free ?.....how ya gonna gripe about that ?

   Update: I just installed a new video card and it still locks up on Global Benchmark. I didnt think it would change anything, just thought I would retest it. Funny that it worked great as version 1.84 (which I now use) and locks up with 1.85. If it was driver or compatability issues why didnt it happen with 1.84?
   
   This version locks up when I try and do a Global Benchmark. I have no problems with version 1.84.
   
   Version 1.85 reads my core temps, with my E8400, @ 27°/26°.
   
   Speed fan reads 42°/41° (so does HWMonitor) and Real Temp reads 32°/31°. Version 1.84 shows 42°/41°.
